BB&T Fall for Greenville may seem like its main focuses are food, music and fun, but there's another component to the festival: providing financial help for local nonprofit organizations.

On Tuesday, festival officials presented $42,500 in proceeds to 14 local nonprofits that contributed volunteer services to the festival, and announced a new initiative called Fall for Giving.

Fall for Giving will provide grants to nonprofit groups that work in the areas of culinary and food, cultural diversity, family and music. Applications for the grants, which will range from $1,000 to $20,000, will be accepted through Feb. 28. For more info, go to www.fallforgreenville.net/grant.
